also shed a light on your risk of certain medical conditions as well. but first, hey, it s super bowl weekend. the new york giants taking on the new england patriots. got your favorite, i m sure. those of us who care about head injuries can look for a few extra things during the game. i want you to pay attention. for one, we know super ads are the most high profile, most expensive spots to run. the nfl is actually going to use one of those spots to run an ad that talks about what the league is doing to promote safety. in fact, this past week on 60 minutes roger goodell said players need to share responsibility and also to be honest about their injuries. some of it s a warrior mentality, some of it s wanting to be out there to contribute. but that s part of our education is to make sure the players understand the seriousness of the issue and that they have to report these injuries. so the question a lot of people ask, just how hard are those big hits? i recently spoke to
let me give issue perspective. put aside the unemployment rate for a a while because there are lots of reasons why that s not the most effective way to look at this. the most effective way is job growth, the number of jobs lost or added in a given month. let s go back to january of 2011. you can see all through 2011, we gain jobs. off to a strong start and then we started talking about a double dip recession, issues in europe became more serious. our debt crisis became an issue, the debt ceiling debook kell that we had, the downgrade, all that happened in the late summer and companies were hesitant about hiring more people. but starting late summer and into the fall, we ve had strong growth. from october through january, it s been a steady trend upward culminating in january where we added 243,000 job, the vast majority private sector jobs. how does it affect the political landscape? republicans have been using president obama s job creation record against him. and jobs are
i m the leading conservative, that i have the best chance of beating governor romney and the longer conservatives stay split, the harder it s going to be for us to stop a moderate who was as governor pro abortion, pro gun control, pro tax increase. i think that s a very weak record to take into a campaign against barack obama. and i think that we risk not being able to beat obama unless we get a conserve i have to to the nomination. i know in may of 2009 when obamacare was being hashed out and debated, you seemed to be in favor of the must carry. you said that it should either be there or if you re an absolute libertarian, we ll allow you to post a bond instead. what changed your mind or was that taken out of context? look, i think the more the heritage foundation and others who originally thought this was a good idea looked at it, the more clear it became. what happens is you have government intruding totally into your life. particularly at the federal level. i ve talked about sta
you are suggesting that somehow an election is going to handle that when the republicans do not have the courage to step up to entitlements any more than the democrats do. we use that that s at the heart of it. that s what matters. bill: that s not what the heart of it. the guy standing in the white house now is the guy you have to decide on whether it s going to be gingrich or romney or somebody else. it s going to be a vote on barack obama. barack obama has shown me nothing in fiscal responsibility matters. nothing. there has not been with the exception of the stimulus, you can argue what that stimulus did and didn t do, from the time it went into effect, i remember ronald ronald reagan used to say give my program a chance to work. remember he was in serious trouble. when it did take place it took off. when obama s first check was cut on the stimulus from that point forward we created 4 million jobs. 4 million jobs. ask the treasury department we have checked. this the firs
kids make stupid mistakes all too often and that s what s occurred here. what is really disturbing to me, kind of the over the top rhetoric from this administration and their disdain for the military it appears. whether it s the secretary of state or the secretary of defense. i mean, these kids made a mistake. no doubt about it. shouldn t have done it. it s bad, but to call it a criminal act, i think is over the top. ron paul meantime painting himself as a crew saider to cut spending, but he s flying first class on dozens of taxpayer flights each year. he flew first class 31 round trip flights and 12 run one-way flights since may of 2009. his staff says those are the only ones that are refundable. and have you seen the ad mitt romney says he s for a
